      These days it’s ‘fuck around and we’ll ask you really sternly not to fuck around again.’ Just ask Ammon Bundy.

        I mean, he is a fugitive from justice right now.

        He got handled with kids gloves by the feds during the take over likely because of waco, only to have a jury acquit him later.

        Since hes kept up the same shit though, hes now on the run.

      One thing is for sure, Abbot has to respond or something will happen. When the government writes a demand letter, a non-response is not acceptable

          Yep. Start by pulling all US military bases and equipment out of the state. There is a lot of money spent locally to support those bases. Then stop every federal dollar that they can from going to the state of Texas. Cancel contracts with businesses located in the state. They want to secede? Give them a taste.

          And don’t send linemen in to fix the power infrastructure when the whole thing freezes again next month.
